Cancel Culture Robots, Parenthood, Taylor Swift Power Moves & Old-School Music | Ep. 11

In Under Duress Ep 11, Amber & Tull unleash on cancel culture, the Netflix “they-them robot” controversy, and the fierce righteousness of modern life. We debate the Taylor Swift / Travis Kelce dynamic, and how Swift seems to be running the NFL (or at least influencing it). We also dive into Gen Z’s love for old music, their unexpected obsession with nostalgia, and why they’re digging into the classics. I share how my computer was already struggling (pre-Adobe meltdown), and we riff on Uniqlo’s dystopian self-checkout, the persistence of energy beyond death, and the real story behind the national debt — who we owe and why it’s all smoke and mirrors. Rounding it out: the internet hype over haunted DALL·E TikTok unboxings, navigating friendships as we age, the genius of Silicon Valley (the show), Taylor Swift reaction culture, and a ridiculous thought experiment: doing Billy on the Street with a TalkBoy from Home Alone. Also: the brutal truth that stand-up comedy isn’t for everyone. If your ears crave wild takes on culture, politics, and the absurdity of modern life — you’re home.
